The American foster care system was built to protect and uplift. But for too many kids, it fails to deliver.
➡️ Fewer than 5% of foster youth who age out at 18 earn a college degree.
➡️ Nearly half drop out of high school.
➡️ Many are funneled into locked cells
instead of onto life-building paths.
In this powerful episode, we speak with Claudia Rowe, a member of the editorial board at The Seattle Times and author of Wards of the State: The Long Shadow of American Foster Care. We dig into how and why this system is broken and what must change.
